September 2, 2016 JCC ADMIN Update

You have to LOVE this student "workspace". One of the things we have learned is that for some students sitting still in a desk is almost impossible. I know for myself that staying focused while sitting for long period of time puts me to sleep! So in many classrooms, flexible furniture/space is provided for learning. This "desk" in Mrs. Wilson's room allows the student to stand as opposed to sitting. Note her left foot on the "kick stand". Mrs. Wilson has shared this silent foot swing moves back and forth and addresses the "wiggle" factor. Physical space enhances creativity and imagination! CADET NATION: FORWARD!
